Commonwealth Scholarships for students (Msc., PhD and Study)

Commonwealth Scholarships for students from developing Commonwealth countries are offered for MasterĂ˘€™s, PhD, and split-site (PhD) study in the UK. These scholarships are funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID).

Nominations

There is a nominating agency for Commonwealth Scholarships in each Commonwealth country. In addition, universities and university bodies in a number of developing Commonwealth countries are invited to nominate candidates to the CSC.National nominating agencies invited to nominate candidates, including contact detailsUniversities/university bodies invited to nominate candidates for split-site (PhD) studyUniversities/university bodies invited to nominate their own academic staff for MasterĂ˘€™s, PhD, and split-site (PhD) study

Each year, the CSC invites each nominating agency/university/university body to forward a specific number of nominations. Each nominating agency/university/university body is responsible for its own selection process, and in most cases they will set their own closing date, which will be before the CSCĂ˘€™s deadline for nominations (21 December 2012).

Approximately 300 scholarships are awarded each year. The CSC invites around three times more nominations than scholarships available Ă˘€“ therefore, nominated candidates are not guaranteed to get a scholarship. There are no quotas for scholarships for any individual country. Candidates nominated by national nominating agencies are in competition with those nominated by universities/university bodies, and the same standards will be applied to applications made through either channel.

How to applyAll applications must be made through your nominating agency (or university/university body, if applicable) in your home country. You must check with them in the first instance for specific advice on how to make an application and for their own closing date. The CSC cannot accept any applications direct from candidates.

The CSC expects all Commonwealth Scholarship candidates to be nominated by an approved nominating agency/university/university body, and to have completed an application form using our Electronic Application System (EAS).Full help on how to apply using the EAS is provided in our guides, which should be read in full before making any attempt to use the EAS.

The EAS will close to applicants on 7 December 2012 and no further applications can be made after that date. The CSC will not accept any applications which are not submitted via the EAS to the nominating agency/university/university body in the candidateĂ˘€™s home country.

Please note that all enquiries about these scholarships should be directed to the nominating agency/university/university body in your home country.
